Wilderness: The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison: 001

Cannot fault the service or product.

Just as described, very happy!

The words and images in this book have a way with your mind. They stick in your subconscious as if they are the stories your ancestors told around the campfire.Jim Morrison's poetry is a mix of Greek mythology, and Shamanic mysticism. Throw in some books from long ago that are deep in the blood of mankind, and you end up with Morrison.His poetry does not talk about himself. Instead he writes about archetypical themes in a modern setting. His setting was the 60's, which provided a lot of material: Vietnam, new drugs, the Women's Rights Movement, and the Civil Rights Movement.All of these things were ripping at the fabric of America (and humanity). Morrison's poetry attacks these chaotic times head on. However, he writes as if he were a 19th century poet in the mold of Lord Byron, or Arthur Rimbaud. He achieved his goal, and a place in history.

Some great writings from the Lizard King. I love his songs and his poetry. He was a truly creative soul, and if you're a fan then you'll enjoy this book.

a good book to dip into if you only have a few minutes tosit and relax. Poetry is what I expectedfrom Jim Morrison.

was a gift
